you can only say that when it actually shows you something and you learn from it

At this point, it seems like it isn't worth arguing over further

[sick birch]

If we're not going to help, we're not going to help. If you don't want to help, move on. If you want help, find it somewhere else. Easy as that, let's move on

[livid carbon]

It's been awhile since I've used discord.py, what fork should I be using?

[dire folio]

I think a lot of people here use disnake

[fading marlin]

why use a fork?

[livid carbon]

I heard that discord.py was discontinued ???

[fading marlin]

not anymore

[livid carbon]

oh

[slate swan]

well, there are still reasons to use a fork

[livid carbon]

what are those reasons?

[slate swan]

the application commands implementation in Discord.py is not too easy

[livid carbon]

is everything changed? in forks or is some what the same as discord.py?

if I have to learn a whole new module again to have a discord bot, I'll stick with discord.js

[slate swan]

well there's a lot of changes

[livid carbon]

damn

[slate swan]

but if you have some old discod.py that would work with any fork

[livid carbon]

alrighty, welp I guess I'm going to stick with JavaScript...

[cloud dawn]

[slate swan]

Questions about cogs?
I want to add a Anti-alts cog to my bot, if a user activates it, will it be global or only for that server?
If its global how could i make it Server-sided aka Only for that server? Without saving the server ID's or something else?

[torn sail]

You can define cog_check within the cog and do something with enabling and disabling. Just think of a cog like doing bot.add_command(…) for commands in the cog. It will be global

!d discord.ext.commands.Cog.cog_check

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Cog.cog\_check

cog_check(ctx)```
A special method that registers as a [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check")
for every command and subcommand in this cog.

This function **can** be a coroutine and must take a sole parameter,
`ctx`, to represent the [`Context`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Context "discord.ext.commands.Context").

[full lily]

what exactly are you stuck on

[rapid knoll]

nevermind I got it didn't follow the tutorial

[frozen patio]

Tutorials be like:

[terse coyote]

how to make it so that for when the channel was created, for a certain role set permissions speak = False, send_messages = False?

[fading marlin]

create_text_channel has an overwrites kwarg where you can pass in the overwrite of the channel and the member/role

!d discord.Guild.create_text_channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.create\_text\_channel

await create_text_channel(name, *, reason=None, category=None, position=..., topic=..., slowmode_delay=..., nsfw=..., overwrites=..., default_auto_archive_duration=...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Creates a [`TextChannel`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.TextChannel "discord.TextChannel") for the guild.

Note that you need the [`manage_channels`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_channels "discord.Permissions.manage_channels") permission
to create the channel...

[ebon island]

What is the best way to see if the bot is connected to a voice channel in a given server?

[slate swan]

!d discord.Guild.voice_client

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.voice\_client

property voice_client```
Returns the [`VoiceProtocol`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.VoiceProtocol "discord.VoiceProtocol") associated with this guild, if any.

[slate swan]

or, discord.Guild.me.voice

[ebon island]

ooh, so I can store a reference to the guild and any time get the voice client?

Awesome 😄

Thank you! Works perfectly!

[slate swan]

Hey, anyone know how to get a guild banner when not using v2?

Guild.banner_url

[ebon island]

How do I properly call an async.await() within a synchronous function? loop.create_task() is executing it but not awaiting the result, how do I get that behavior?

[torn sail]

why would you need to call it within a synchronous function

you wouldn't be able to await it in a non blocking way

[ebon island]

I want to wait before retrying in an error handling done_callback

which done_callback can't be an asynchronous function per my recollection

unless you can pass a coroutine as a done callback?

[torn sail]

for what method?

[ebon island]

an asynchronous task

[frozen patio]

👀

[ebon island]

I have a done callback which attaches to my asynchronous task

and I was under the impression that the done callback had to be synchronous, but I might be mistaken in that belief

[frozen patio]

What lib

[ebon island]

asyncio

in disnake project

[wary crystal]

You could probably do, ```py
def done_calback(...) -> None:
asyncio.get_running_loop().create_task(async_done_callback(...))

[ebon island]

I'll give it a try

[wary crystal]

Wait, you're trying to await the result right?

[ebon island]

well yes and no, I want it to wait until the normally awaited sleep finishes before completing the done_callback

[wary crystal]

Ah, I see, like a cooldown set inside the callback?

Or am I wrong.

[ebon island]

yeah

wait 2s first time and 2**n each repetition

but if I just do create_task on the sleep it recurses outside the bigint handler within seconds as you'd expect lol

[wary crystal]

Ok, you'll need some synchronisation. I'll send an example of what you could do

[ebon island]

your idea with the sync layer on the outside and the async on the inside worked

thanks 🙂

[wary crystal]

!e ```py
import asyncio

async def wait_for_event(event: asyncio.Event) -> None:
await event.wait() # <- Wait for event to be set
print("Event set.")

async def main() -> None:
event = asyncio.Event()
asyncio.create_task(wait_for_event(event))

await asyncio.sleep(1)
event.set()

asyncio.run(main())

[unkempt canyon]

@wary crystal :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

Event set.

[wary crystal]

Ah, cool. Use that one then instead of events

[ebon island]

Yeah, it'll work fine for me and I don't mind the minor refactor

Thanks!

already done refactoring, quite an easy process

and now it'll work 😄

[wary crystal]

What are you creating specifically? Care to share

[slate swan]

you need to write some code after the @bot.command

a function to be specific

How do I make a listener for DMs and add a response when someone DMs in d.py

[ebon island]

24/7 error handled loops for various features like music player and word generator

How can I await the completion of voice_client.play() and only proceed when it hits the after state?

within async methods

it is playing the song but isn't waiting so going back through my logic it is constantly getting exception that it is already playing

it is presently hitting the done callback continuously rather than awaiting the after block to be hit

[slate swan]

whats the asyncio.Event class for btw?

!d asyncio.Event

[unkempt canyon]

asyncio.Event

class asyncio.Event```
An event object. Not thread-safe.

An asyncio event can be used to notify multiple asyncio tasks
that some event has happened...

[wary crystal]

Synchronisation. It's kind of like your locks.

[slate swan]

what does it even mean that some event happened

🏂

[wary crystal]

Your tasks, coroutines, whatever, will be awaiting for the event. via Event.wait(). When the event get's set with Event.set it'll continue after the await.

[ebon island]

Any ideas on my above question?

[slate swan]

ah ic

[wary crystal]

Are you adding the callback to VoiceClient.play(..., after=done_callback)?

[ebon island]

I didn't do that but I suppose I could try that

[wary crystal]

I would suggest that then. Because after get's called when the AudioPlayer is done playing

[ebon island]

It means that the youtube_dl package you are trying to import is not being found correctly, however, I am quite certain that assistance with youtube players is not permitted per the rules

I'll have to try to think about how to structure it, since the voice_done_callback was intended as an error handler but if I call it in the after it can't handle errors before that

[wary crystal]

You could try keeping your current implementation. But add a simple check to the callback. ```py
def callback(...) -> None:

if player.is_playing():
    return

# Your implementation

Keep in mind, if your callback was not waiting for it to finish. Then this is pretty un-efficient. But it's a temporary fix

[ebon island]

it will have to hit that loop quite frequently, ideally it will only hit the done callback when it finishes

and if I have an error handler in there it will delay exponentially so when the song playing ends it might be waiting 10 minutes by that time

flow control is such a tricky thing in async

[wary crystal]

To make sure, the callback just plays the song again, or?

And it's only done when there is an error raised?

[ebon island]

the donecallback creates the next play task, yes, and also handles any errors and sends them to my sentry instance

[wary crystal]

Does the error dispatch on_command_error?

Or is it not in a command

[ebon island]

it's not in a command at that point

it is in a task

command spawns the task, tasks spawn further tasks barrel of monkeys style, one attaching the next

I'm going to try while voice_client.is_playing having it sleep, it's not good but it's better than just running infinitely every .0001ms lol

[wary crystal]

Ahhh, you can infact do the after thing I mentioned. It takes a parameter which would be any errors

[slate swan]

pip install youtube_dl

[wary crystal]

Like so, play(..., after=lambda error: print(error))

[slim ibex]

!ytdl

[unkempt canyon]

[slate swan]

oops

i dont wanna be banned

[ebon island]

but the issue is that my structure is such that I save the tasks to a Server Object so they can be cancelled at will, that's a little more messy to call from after

since the done_callback needs to be bound to the task itself

[wary crystal]

Can you show me the code? It's a little hard to visualise this

[ebon island]

I can screenshare over voice in about 10 mins if acceptable?\

having dinner in a moment

I can show you the application structure and implementation

[wary crystal]

I am not in the position right now to hop into a voice call. Do you have a GitHub repository or something alike?

[ebon island]

Not a public one presently

[wary crystal]

All good, I would say try taking a poke at it again yourself with some of the ideas we dicussed. Perhaps you'll find a good way to do this. If not you are always welcome to ping me or something later

[distant river]

hey guys, I want to send my plotly graph to discord, do you know how I can do this?

[glacial echo]

the code literally hasnt changed

what gives?

the other pattern works fine

(i only have 2 patterns at the moment, havent received links for the rest yet)

[slate swan]

quick question how do i made this thing into python?

var args = message.content.substring(prefix.length).split(" ")

[little crypt]

Hello, I want to develop a python whatsapp bot which every day at a certain time it gives a message to a whatsapp group

[pliant gulch]

vars = message.content[len(prefix):].split()

[little crypt]

is that possible? I know how to send automatic messages with pyautogui but in order to send them I have to execute the program each time, I want to avoid that so I dont have to be executing the same file time

[slate swan]

ty

taxmachine, are you doing that for a command in on_message event?

yes

you would like using discord.py's inbuilt command handler instead!

gimme a moment

idk im new to python

i just wanna remake my bot in python

oop

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/basic_bot.py

here

i wanna remake smth like that

see this example, you can make commands easily using commands.Bot

like i dont want annoying ifelse but switch/case(match/case) instead

from discord.ext import commands

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!")

@bot.command()
async def ping(context):
   await context.send("pong")

bot.run("token")
``` quite simpler

ahhh

tysm

for taking args you can simply add an argument to the command function

async def command(context, my_argument):
   ...

the non privileged ones are enabled by default

if my bot requires admin do i need intents?

if you are on the PyPi version ( installed using pip) message content is enabled by default too

[pliant gulch]

Yes, permissions & intents are two different things

[slate swan]

^

alr

[pliant gulch]

You still might need to enable message content intent in the developer portal

Don’t actually know

[slate swan]

yeah sure

same thing with discord.js@12

@cyan raptor is annoying as hell

wait not the ping

bruhbruh

im sorry i didnt meant that

mhm, ill recommend to install discord.py from git, it has components and app commands too ( along with some breaking changes) , you would have to shift to that later so why not do it rn

git+link of the repo in the requirements.txt right?

yeah

b

oh, you installed the git version right?

ye

[slate swan]

go according to this example then.

i did

and jesus it take so long to connect

passed the intents?

[pliant gulch]

Not sure if it's the same with djs, but discord.py will dispatch READY when caching is populated, therefor more guilds == longer startup times

[slate swan]

nvm it works

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True

bot = commands.Bot(..., intents=intents)
``` this part to be specifc

mhm

[pliant gulch]

Well, the startup times is with all libraries basically, unless you have certain cache flags

But discord.py will defer dispatching READY until caching is done via checking asyncio.Events'

[slate swan]

is there something like nodemon, so that when i save the file it restarts it ?

or maybe its built-in with python

are you using vscode? there are many extensions

yes but my hard drive is full 💀

[pliant gulch]

Perfect excuse for some spring cleaning

[slate swan]

im gonna switch to linux this weekend anyways

on a fresh new 1tb ssd

[pliant gulch]

Which distro are you planning on?

What WM too

[slate swan]

garuda

[pliant gulch]

Ah

[slate swan]

arch 😩

[pliant gulch]

Not a bad choice

Garuda is mostly aimed towards gaming

Looks good too

[slate swan]

yes thats why

i tried kubuntu a couple months ago

wasnt that bad but it was missing something

i fresh installed kali yesterday, without any penetration tools
and it looks so emptyyyyyy

yeah

did you tried remnux?

[pliant gulch]

Kali is not bad, but the community has a bad rep

Tend to avoid it just because of that kek

[slate swan]

my wsl terminal is kali

[pliant gulch]

Speaking of fresh installs, started yesterday a new arch install, 600 some odd packges using Xmonad + Xmobar

Config is still in the works so I just got a black terminal right now and a buggy bar

o tyy

[slate swan]

how do i get a list of the channels?

there's context arg but idk really much ;-;

[little ether]

you can use ctx.guild.text_channels

[slate swan]

ok it worked ty

^, if you need all the channels and not text ones you can just do guild.channels

!d discord.Guild.channels

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.channels

property channels```

[slate swan]

context.guild gives you a discord.Guild object with pretty much stuff related to a server
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Guild <- , here's all of them

..

discord must small the code if the code is going out of the codeblock else it ruins all the indents also add a zoom

.

[sour root]

intents.message_content = True
AttributeError: 'Intents' object has no attribute 'message_content'

[shrewd apex]

u can just do intents = discord.intents.all()

[slate swan]

that intent is added in discord.py 2.0, the pip install.. version wont have it.

[shrewd apex]

also i think it's intents.message

[slate swan]

no

[distant river]

what does this mean when I get this error: {"message": "405: Method Not Allowed", "code": 0}

[slate swan]

!d discord.Intents.message_content

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Intents.message\_content

[west mango]

hey folks, does anyone know of a good way of copying an image attachment from an on_message event and have a bot repost the attachment without that attachment after deleting the source message and not having the bot's image vanish after a day? I have no issue getting it to post the image, the image just kind of times out after about 24-48 hours, which makes sense since the object reference has been deleted. Im just having trouble thinking of a creative workaround though. Example in screenshot and code snippet below (img variable is just the attachment url form the original message):

if len(message.attachments) == 1:
                        embed=discord.Embed(description=body)
                        embed.set_image(url=f'{img}')
                        embed.set_author(name=message.author, url=message.author.display_avatar, 
                        icon_url=message.author.display_avatar)
                        embed.set_footer(text=message.created_at)

                        #how can I delete the on_message event and repost the attachment without the attachment timing-out/disappearring within a day?
                        await message.delete()

                    
                        msg = await message.channel.send(embed=embed)
                        await msg.create_thread(name=thread, auto_archive_duration = archive_time)```

[slate swan]

save the image locally,
and send it with your embed again.

or just read it, and send it

!d discord.Attachment.read

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Attachment.read

await read(*, use_cached=False)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Retrieves the content of this attachment as a [`bytes`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#bytes "(in Python v3.10)") object.

New in version 1.1.

[west mango]

oh interesting, and by referencing it this way, the deletion of the object wouldnt be an issue since its referenced as a bytes object?

[slate swan]

💀 maybe i'm dumb, you can just attachment.to_file() to get a discord.File object ans send it directly!

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Attachment.to_file

[slate swan]

yea, even if you delete the source, it will stay.

afk.py

[slate swan]

😳 https://imgur.com/lrulSQU.png

saving ids as TEXT

wish me luck.

[west mango]

thank you! reading the doc on attachment.to_file() but may just use read

[west mango]

as a data engineer this is one of the only things you could have done in here to hurt me lol

at least give it a primary key constraint 😉

[slate swan]

you would have to convert it to a discord.File anyways, so using to_file would be better

[slate swan]

oo, yeah!

[pliant gulch]

Why though, just use BIG INT

[slate swan]

yeah i realise that would be better

[slate swan]

me who uses list var 😎

[pliant gulch]

Why is timestamp INT

There are time data types

😔

[slate swan]

i just need the timestamp integer tho~

[west mango]

sometimes its good for calculations but in those cases just cast in your query

oops responded to the wrong thing

[vague fiber]

Hey everyone, new here. Been stuck on an issue with my bot for several hours now. I think it's more of a general python question but I would love some help if yall don't mind

[slate swan]

yeah, i get what was the reply for

[slate swan]

feel free to ask!

[west mango]

since you helped me with the API feel free to ask me SQL questions any time lol. I never do this type of development but am ex-faang data engineer so I can maybe help there

[stone beacon]

https://tenor.com/view/welp-ok-gif-7575555

[slate swan]

sureee, thanks a lot <3

[vague fiber]

I'll post a screenshot of the structure. But basically it's a nested dictionary with lists values, and when I update one it sets the value for keys outside of it's scope. I'll post the picture then elaborate a little more

[stone beacon]

Go right ahead

[vague fiber]

        for role in allowed_roles:
            if role not in DATA[guildID]['allowed_roles']:
                DATA[guildID]['allowed_roles'].append(role)```I was doing it another way, but switch to this for more visibility.  the allowed_roles vairable is a passed in list of roleIDs, and the guildID is passed in as well from message context

but even if I pass in one guildID it updates all instances of 'allowed_roles' keys in the dictionary

[boreal ravine]

Why not save it as BIGINT?

[slate swan]

...

sift slow

andy supermacy

[west mango]

for this, does it essentially just create a new unique discord url for the file or does it legit download to the host machine? I can test it in about 15 mins so dw about it if youre not sure

[boreal ravine]

If you wanna use INT for IDs use aiosqlite3

[west mango]

I realize the proxy_url part thats the part im wondering about though

[slate swan]

.save() would save it on your device
.read() would store it in a cache
.to_file() would convert it to a discord.File directly

and all of them make requests to the proxy url/url to get the bytes and then get that data

[gaunt ice]

whoa

[west mango]

ok so its a legit web file

thats awesome, thanks man. Server has >30k people for an event and didnt want to deal with that load lol

[slate swan]

wait what is there no limit on INT with aiosqlite3?

[vague fiber]

here is literally right before the step and after the step. You can see in the watch all 3 keys have their value updated

[boreal ravine]

Unsure but the last time I inserted an ID into a column that was an INT worked

[slate swan]

use a list comp? its a bit faster than a for loop iirc

lemme try

[slate swan]

yeah it works, my own bot uses INT for ids

[vague fiber]

That isn't my issue though. Appreciate it, but the issue is data being updated outside of the scope

use a bot variable

!botvar

[unkempt canyon]

Python allows you to set custom attributes to most objects, like your bot! By storing things as attributes of the bot object, you can access them anywhere you access your bot. In the discord.py library, these custom attributes are commonly known as "bot variables" and can be a lifesaver if your bot is divided into many different files. An example on how to use custom attributes on your bot is shown below:

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!")
# Set an attribute on our bot
bot.test = "I am accessible everywhere!"

@bot.command()
async def get(ctx: commands.Context):
    """A command to get the current value of `test`."""
    # Send what the test attribute is currently set to
    await ctx.send(ctx.bot.test)

@bot.command()
async def setval(ctx: commands.Context, *, new_text: str):
    """A command to set a new value of `test`."""
    # Here we change the attribute to what was specified in new_text
    bot.test = new_text

This all applies to cogs as well! You can set attributes to self as you wish.

Be sure not to overwrite attributes discord.py uses, like cogs or users. Name your attributes carefully!

[slate swan]

whenever you set bot.test again in this case, it'll change the value of it even if its outside the scope

and make sure to not over-write an attribute or a method of the Bot class

[vague fiber]

Then I would have to pass the bot or client across all my files right?

[slate swan]

you mean cogs?

[vague fiber]

I don't think so

[slate swan]

uh....?

or are you creating functions in other files and importing those functions into your main file or smth....

[vague fiber]

Kind of, I have a data access layer with all my sql execution, a services layer with all my data management (a middle man of sorts for the DA layer and my main) and then all my functionality that doesn't require being in the main. Data analytics and parsing

then I have my main which has the commands

[slate swan]

hm, ic, then what you could do is.....um... Better if you could shift those to a class and define a self.bot globally, and when initialize the class, you can pass in your main bot variable into it

I dont see a better ideal way

[vague fiber]

Yeah I just have a config.py with my variables that I load the data into from the database on_ready. And just have that file imported. It was just a nice organized way originally of doing it

[slate swan]

wait, so, the config.py, how are you using bot currently in it?

waits forever

[vague fiber]

@slate swan so this is the main variable I have and how it is structured. I update the data based on the bot events, tasks, and loops. The call functions in my svc.py file like AddOrUpdateUser(guildID, userID, message_count) and it updates that data object. Which is constantly writing any changes to the database every few minutes. If the bot crashes, when it restarts it can pull that data from the database back into this data object

lol sorry

[slate swan]

im having a stroke trying to understand, and your main issue, seems quite unclear, but it would probably help someone else help you 😔

[vague fiber]

So actually the main issue is a python issue I think more than a bot.

[vague fiber]

If you look at these two picture, there are watches set up on the left. You can see the 3 keys in the dictionary that are Guild IDs. When I run the next line it updates all three keys at one time to have new values for the 'allowed_roles' key

[west mango]

embeds are still limited to one main image right?

[boreal ravine]

Yes

[west mango]

ty. Wish Discord would allow more :/

[slate swan]

you can have multiple embeds in same message though, if that may help...

How to install 2.0 on vsc?

[slate swan]

pip install -U git+https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py (you need python 3.8 or later)

[midnight gorge]

if it says Error [WinError 2] the system find the file specified while executing command git version ERROR: cannot find command 'git' - do you have git installed in your PATH?

means that I don't have python 3.8?

[slate swan]

you have to install git (https://git-scm.com/downloads)

[midnight gorge]

from the website/link?

[slate swan]

Yes.

[nimble plume]

hi

how can i install nakecord

dis next

[torn sail]

What

[olive osprey]

lmao

[torn sail]

Nextcord?

[nimble plume]

yes

import disnake

[torn sail]

Only one

Disnake or nextcord

[vale wing]

Nice lib name

[nimble plume]

[slate swan]

?

[midnight gorge]

💀

[west mango]

would cogs be the correct tool to facilitate 2 on_message events?
Example:

    bot checks user message content
      if content contains x
        bot replies to user
        if bot reply contains y         //this is now a different message which is why I ask
          bot async awaits to delete own reply. 

[warm tulip]

hey guys how i can set a role (permission) for a cmd ?
like for warn cmd that member have to have {time outmembers]

[boreal ravine]

Name? 😏

[boreal ravine]

Yes

[olive osprey]

You don't have this from me
||NYYXXII on twitch||

[slate swan]

how to check discordpy version?

[vale wing]

!d discord.ext.commands.Cog.listener you can make as many handlers of the same event as you want

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Cog.listener

classmethod listener(name=...)```
A decorator that marks a function as a listener.

This is the cog equivalent of [`Bot.listen()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen "discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen").

[west mango]

thanks guys

[vague fiber]

you can use "pip freeze" to see all versions of all dependencies you have on your environment. You should see it in there

[warm tulip]

hey guys how i can set a role (permission) for a cmd ?
like for warn cmd that member have to have {time outmembers]

[vague fiber]

Do you have the code for the command?

[warm tulip]

yea i coded warn cmd

[vague fiber]

Did you restrict it's access?

[warm tulip]

wym

[vague fiber]

@client.command()
@commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)
async def clear(ctx):
    await ctx.channel.purge(limit=15)``` Sample of one that is restricted to administrator permissions only

[warm tulip]

oh

how to set it to ( timeout members)

:/

[vague fiber]

wait so are you asking how to make it time people out or how to require it to have certain permissions for users to use the command?

[keen silo]

@slash.slash() async def iplookup(ctx, *, ipaddr: str = None, ip.Option(str, "Enter an IP adress")):
^ "(" was not closed
Why am I getting this error ?
how to resolve it.... 😓

[warm tulip]

idk wym my english lunguge is not soo good

i mean i wanna set a permission to only that memeber that have that permission can use cmd

[vague fiber]

@client.command()
@commands.has_any_role("Moderator", "Admin")   #<------This line here
async def warn(ctx):
  #some code to warn user````

Like this. Just add whatever role you want in there in place of Admin and Moderator

[warm tulip]

no i mean role permission not role name :/

[vague fiber]

oh ok, Let me take a look quickly

[warm tulip]

ok

[keen silo]

anyone ?

[vague fiber]

kunnu I will take a look in a second

[keen silo]

ok...

[vague fiber]

Ok like this

@client.command()
@commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)   #<------This line here
async def warn(ctx):
  #some code to warn user``` You can replace administrator with whatever permission you want. There is a list here: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Permissions under the section called Attributes. They need to be spelled exactly how they are on there

[vague fiber]

Ok sorry I haven't used the @ slash command before. What are you trying to do with that?

[keen silo]

im tryna make an iplookup command alr...but i wanna turn it into a slash command....

[vague fiber]

Ok

[keen silo]

i mean i made the cmd alr i wann turn it into slash cmd

[vague fiber]

have you made any other slash commands successfully?

[cloud dawn]

I recommend using a modern library like disnake, nextcord or discord 2.0+

[keen silo]

im using discord.py...

discord-slash-command library

[cloud dawn]

Thats an extension library

[keen silo]

discord-slash-commands and discord.py arent same ?

[vague fiber]

"discord-py-interactions is, in the simplest terms, a library extension that builds off of the currently existing discord.py API wrapper"

[paper sluice]

discord-slash-commands is an add on the discord.py

its not a part of discord.py

[cloud dawn]

Addon to dpy 1.7.3*

[keen silo]

hmm...ok

[vague fiber]

are you looking at this documentation? https://github.com/interactions-py/library/blob/stable/docs/quickstart.rst

[keen silo]

ive seen it but it doesnt have anything related to slash commands

ooh sorry, it has slash commands

[slate swan]

how to prefix bot status in python 2.0

[gilded gust]

Hey, I have a quick question about my bot. I'm currently making a bot for a third party, and when I'm done I have "transfer bot ownership" to them, how exactly do I do that? Just share the source code to them.... or something else?

[slate swan]

how to delete github?

[boreal ravine]

pip uninstall discord.py

Should work

[paper sluice]

wdym?

[supple thorn]

Or just do pip show discord.py

[paper sluice]

>>> import discord
>>> discord.__version__
'2.0.0a'

💀

[supple thorn]

Yeah that too and they can just do what i suggested if they don't want to add code to a file and run it

Personally i like doing the command more rather than checking in code

[paper sluice]

i was trolling, but anyways...

[boreal ravine]

I don't think you can do that
you either:

• transfer it to a team so both you and the third-party "own" it
• do what you said

[prisma spoke]

You can't

They have to make a bot application

[gilded gust]

That seems good, but I don't know anything about teams, can you explain more?

[slate swan]

what it

[slate swan]

https://discord.com/developers/teams

[cloud dawn]

await it.

[slate swan]

thx'

[boreal ravine]

https://discord.com/developers/teams

[slate swan]

where status "idle"?

[gilded gust]

1 more thing, when I send a friend an invite, how do they accept it, like where does that notification come up?

[boreal ravine]

In the persons emails

[gilded gust]

ah ok, thanks

[cloud dawn]

Is this Disnake?

[slate swan]

no, discord py

[loud junco]

Huh

[slate swan]

how to add the number of servers that have a bot to the status

[maiden fable]

len(bot.guilds)

[slate swan]

{len(bot.guilds)}?

[maiden fable]

Sure

[boreal ravine]

len(bot._connection.guilds)

[slate swan]

not work

[cloud dawn]

Show your code.

[slate swan]

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print("Kiff connected")
    await bot.change_presence(status=discord.Status.idle, activity=discord.Game("k.help | {len(bot._connection.guilds)}"))```

[cloud dawn]

!f-strings

[unkempt canyon]

Creating a Python string with your variables using the + operator can be difficult to write and read. F-strings (format-strings) make it easy to insert values into a string. If you put an f in front of the first quote, you can then put Python expressions between curly braces in the string.

>>> snake = "pythons"
>>> number = 21
>>> f"There are {number * 2} {snake} on the plane."
"There are 42 pythons on the plane."

Note that even when you include an expression that isn't a string, like number * 2, Python will convert it to a string for you.

[austere gust]

Do any1 have a very cheap dpy bot hosting site?

Which is 24/7

[dull terrace]

Amazon web server

[loud junco]

How do i print server guild's owner

Print gu.owner.name?

[loud junco]

Replit or heroku

[austere gust]

I put my code in replit

And it says an error when it is downloading the requiremnets

[boreal ravine]

Wtf

[boreal ravine]

vultr

[loud junco]

??

[loud junco]

?

[dull terrace]

Replit and heroku are very bad. If you try to use them at any sort of scale for your bot it won't work.

[boreal ravine]

i didn't even define member

my linter is dead

[loud junco]

How do i print server guild's owner

Print gu.owner.name?

[boreal ravine]

@minor totem explain?

[honest laurel]

guild.owner

[boreal ravine]

yes

[loud junco]

Ok thanks

gu.owner will output id or name

[honest laurel]

it's a Member object

[minor totem]

Hm?

[honest laurel]

Is there any advantages/disadvantages in using celery instead of discord.ext.tasks? If i understand correctly built-in tasks wouldn't work if i have multiple instances of the bot running

[placid skiff]

the __repr__ of a user/member object is something like this: <User id = user.id name = user.name discriminator = user.discriminator bot = user.bot>

instead, the cast of string to a User/Member object returns his name and discriminator

[slate swan]

hey

[loud junco]

gu.owner is None bruh

[slate swan]

use cogs

[slate swan]

what do u want

[loud junco]

I want to make a command that list out all server that my bot is in

And the owner also

[slate swan]

do u have intents enabled

[boreal ravine]

i didn't define member, but my ide thinks its defined

[loud junco]

Intents?

[slate swan]

yes

[loud junco]

U mean in the developer portal?

[slate swan]

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. By default discord.py has all intents enabled except for Members, Message Content, and Presences. These are needed for features such as on_member events, to get access to message content, and to get members' statuses.

To enable one of these intents, you need to first go to the Discord developer portal, then to the bot page of your bot's application. Scroll down to the Privileged Gateway Intents section, then enable the intents that you need.

Next, in your bot you need to set the intents you want to connect with in the bot's constructor using the intents keyword argument, like this:

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

intents = Intents.default()
intents.members = True

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)

For more info about using intents, see the discord.py docs on intents, and for general information about them, see the Discord developer documentation on intents.

[slate swan]

like this and dev portal

[loud junco]

Ok

Lemme see

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

..

[dawn shard]

Pretty sure its whenever creating a game it shows you how the presence on discord looks

[maiden fable]

Yup

As u can see in it's heading, "Visualiser"

[slate swan]

#test
@bot.command()

            )```

[placid skiff]

wait_for requires more arguments

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for

oh nvm they're good

[placid skiff]

There is nothing in the console?

[supple thorn]

Don't code on replit then

[loud junco]

But it's working fine on pc

[west mango]

Guys im very tired but need to get this done before I go to bed - my apologies if Im slow. Im trying adjust my previously no-cog bot to use event listeners. Essentially the entire reason is because I need 2 on_message events and this is the best way to do it based on everything I've seen/heard. I've set up a test cog:

import discord
import os
from discord.ext import commands
intents = discord.Intents(messages=True, guilds=True, message_content = True )

class Example(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_ready(self):
        print('Ready!')
        print('Logged in as ---->', self.bot.user)
        print('ID:', self.bot.user.id)

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_message(self, message):
        print(message)

def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(Example(bot))
    
    ```
But my main file is pretty damn big at the moment. Im just trying to verify that the files are linked  hence the print function. Im having a hard time trying to figure out out to implement this into everything ive written. Most of my main file is just a massive on_message event:
```py
intents = discord.Intents(messages=True, guilds=True, message_content = True )
bot = discord.Client(intents=intents) 

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
  #ignore - for testing in console
  print('Logged in as {0.user}'.format(bot))
@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    archive_time = 60 #in minutes: Value must be one of (1440, 60, 4320, 10080). FOR THREADS. 
    delete_time = 120 #SET DELETION TIMER IN SECONDS HERE
    minute_val = round((delete_time/60))
etc....```

From my understanding, I would need to:
1. rename one of the on_message events in either cog or main
2. Wrap the entire on_message event in the main file in a cog class?
3. I probably shouldnt be defining the bot user in both right...
4. all bot events need to be command.cog.listener?

Im so lost right now, this is the first thing Ive ran into with the API that I feel like no amount of documentation has gotten it through my head.

You don't have self defined

[flint isle]

Ah what do I define self as then

[boreal ravine]

Why not use docstrings?

[supple thorn]

Just use bot

[flint isle]

Hmm? Idk what that is

Are you in a class?

Just use your bot variable

Ok

[supple thorn]

What did i do

Also get_guild isn't a async

Since it just gets the guild from the bot's cache

Usually any method with get is just synchronous

Any api call is asynchronous

[flint isle]

Ok

[flint isle]

So should I do instead

GUILD_ID = '798726719573065749'

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

[flint isle]

@jade tartan that will help us read it easier

[jade tartan]

I have done that

cant u see it

[flint isle]

Three tickmarks?

[jade tartan]

ill just post it on !paste

[flint isle]

Ok

[jade tartan]

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the floppy disk icon in the top right, or by typing ctrl + S. After doing that, the URL should change. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[jade tartan]

Cuz i literally did that

[supple thorn]

You did not

[flint isle]

Would this work better?

[supple thorn]

It is clear you didn't

[flint isle]

Top 3 Need to be on a line by themselves

[supple thorn]

That's your error

You didn't format your code properly

[supple thorn]

That should work

[jade tartan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ezeviyawij

[flint isle]

K

[supple thorn]

Also you should ask that in #databases

Since it isn't related to discord bot

[jade tartan]

Ohh u mean it was i suppose to do it as all together like error and code combined?

both

[supple thorn]

No

Seperate

[supple thorn]

Just do this to your code then send it in #databases @jade tartan

[jade tartan]

ok

[boreal ravine]

[jade tartan]

I dont know what you mean there

[supple thorn]

That's valid docstring

😠

[supple thorn]

!code

[unkempt canyon]

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

The guildid and channel ones?

Or the embed=embed

hi

[supple thorn]

the on_ready event

[wide thunder]

long time didnt chat here

[supple thorn]

Sup

[wide thunder]

Idk . Are they unnessary?

Got it from a guide when I started working on my bot a while ago

[wide thunder]

on_ready takes no arg smh

[supple thorn]

Yes

[flint isle]

Lol I've had no issues til now. But I'll remove them

something like that

[flint isle]

What's the """ for?

[wide thunder]

im explaining to you the function does

[supple thorn]

Docstring

[wide thunder]

that's a docstring

[supple thorn]

We said it before

[flint isle]

Is it the same as using the # for notes?

[supple thorn]

Well yes but you don't have to manually add # at every line

[flint isle]

Oh thanks that helps me

[wide thunder]

mhm but you can access it with func._doc_ or when you hover that function in your ide that text'll show

[flint isle]

Back to this lovely error again lol

[slate swan]

not quite

[wide thunder]

hi omiki

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/861448928598687764.gif?size=48&quality=lossless

[flint isle]

Ahh there is no hovering in my ide lol since it's pydroid on android

[sage otter]

sounds painful

[wide thunder]

this ^^

[flint isle]

It is a little but it works for me. I am looking at getting a laptop when I get my second paycheck

[slate swan]

it can be used as one but its mainly used for the sphinx and other documentation like vscs which when you preview youll see the description but some people use it sometimes as well besides comments which they really dont do anything depending on your ide

[supple thorn]

It is

[supple thorn]

Do not buy a chromebook

It sucks absolute ass

[slate swan]

hey hey👋

[supple thorn]

Omiki

[flint isle]

What budget laptop is reccomended. I'm tempted to buy used and upgrade ram and had if nessary.

[boreal ravine]

No, docsstrings help in giving a visual idea of what the function is for, and what arguments a function/class takes

[supple thorn]

You probably shouldn't ask me that

[flint isle]

Oh

[supple thorn]

Never had a good one nor bought one myself

[slate swan]

you literally just couldve said documentation 😭

[supple thorn]

I was actually force to buy this chromebook from my sister

[sage otter]

Just get a computer that has good ram, fast processor, and plenty of storage. that’s all you need unless you plan on doing other stuff besides programming on it.

She owned it and i was just using it for school then she just one day said "You own that now" to me and just took 5k from my money

[slate swan]

and mostly dont use pycharm so you actually can use your ram

[flint isle]

Oof

[slate swan]

you do know with 5k you can easily buy a desktop with a 3090 right

[sage otter]

If you have enough ram you should use pycharm(the superior ide)

[slate swan]

🤮

[supple thorn]

How superior

[supple thorn]

Shrek

[slate swan]

superior and takes 1gb of my ram🏂

[supple thorn]

What

@slate swan well 5k is worth roughly around 100$ to you

[slate swan]

then my computer is worth 12 dollars to me

[supple thorn]

How much is your pc

[slate swan]

1.2k

[supple thorn]

Sadge

I want an actual pc

[slate swan]

doesnt mean im rich tho i worked for my money for about 2 years

[supple thorn]

Not a american equivelant of a laptop plastic play thing

[supple thorn]

1$ is 50 here

[slate swan]

you mean a desktop

cause pc means personal computer

I just realized if i zip DuckDuck it's 103mb

[loud junco]

some has username some is None huh

[wide thunder]

what was said before 👀

[flint isle]

Any ideas on how to fix dis

[supple thorn]

Hope that doesn't freeze your bot when it gets big

[supple thorn]

Private classes

Instead of public

[loud junco]

i just use it now

[wide thunder]

[loud junco]

im downloading blender :D

[supple thorn]

That froze my chromebook for a solid 25 minutes

[boreal ravine]

Should do the below if you want faster results

print('\n'.join(['{i:,}. {g.name}: {g.owner}' for i, g in enumerate(bot.guilds)]))

[loud junco]

lol i can feel ur pain

[supple thorn]

Tried to bake shit

[boreal ravine]

Aren't chromebooks meant for schools?

[wide thunder]

what job is that

[boreal ravine]

they have low RAM fwiw

[supple thorn]

Should of not tried that with a chromebook

[supple thorn]

I know

[supple thorn]

Yes that's why i hate it

[slate swan]

i have no job

i just did chores for my family like cleaning cars and other stuff like yard work

gotta respect the hustle😳

what are you doing in on_ready anyways

So it sends a online message to a bot status channel

[slate swan]

the bot is missing permissions to send message

Omg I had embedded content disabled in the channel

I feel so dumb lol

Umm I'm only getting the first line

@slate swan

[slate swan]

there is no example

oh

second.

[flint isle]

https://github.com/DisnakeDev/disnake/blob/master/examples/views/button/confirm.py

I fixed the formatting and now it works

[slate swan]

How can I get the ID of a person just by their name and disc? Example: pal#1337

[loud junco]

but why so many formatted string

why not make them one

[paper sluice]

!d discord.Member.id

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.id

property id```
Equivalent to [`User.id`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.User.id "discord.User.id")

[heady sluice]

I think the main problem was

[placid skiff]

he has to convert the string to a member or user object first

[heady sluice]

!d discord.Guild

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild

class discord.Guild```
Represents a Discord guild.

This is referred to as a “server” in the official Discord UI...

[flint isle]

Idk it's what a friend gave me. I will look I to thay tho

[heady sluice]

!d discord.Guild.get_member_named

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.get\_member\_named

get_member_named(name, /)```
Returns the first member found that matches the name provided.

The name can have an optional discriminator argument, e.g. “Jake#0001”
or “Jake” will both do the lookup. However the former will give a more
precise result. Note that the discriminator must have all 4 digits
for this to work...

[heady sluice]

read bro

😫

[placid skiff]

my bad

[heady sluice]

it's okay

[loud junco]

[slate swan]

sure

[loud junco]

#ot2-never-nester’s-nightmare ?

[gilded gust]

yeah, you didn't ping me so I didn't see your message till now

[slate swan]

!pip dblpy

[unkempt canyon]

dblpy v0.4.0

A simple API wrapper for top.gg written in Python.

[slate swan]

^ use this

[gilded gust]

ty <3

[slate swan]

it will add some events which you can use, it was "on_vote_add" iirc

on_dbl_vote ^

[vapid grove]

im trying to make my discord bot send an embed when someone runs the "/message [json]" command with json looking like this:

{"title":"Title","description":"Description","author":{"name":"Name","icon_url":""},"color":5198940,"footer":{"text":"Footer"}}

heres the code:

  if cembed:
    json_object = json.loads(cembed)
    title = json_object["title"]
    description = json_object["description"]
    name = json_object["name"]
    icon_url = json_object["icon_url"]
    color = json_object["color"]
    footer = json_object["text"]
    embed2 = nextcord.Embed(title=title, description=description, color=color)
    embed.set_author(name=name, icon_url=icon_url)
    embed.set_footer(text=footer)
    await ctx.send(embed=embed2)

but when I try to do that this error comes:

'name'```

[elfin island]

in the example json you sent there's no top-level key called "name"

there's author, under which there is name

[slate swan]

Yo

[ebon island]

Hey so in the event that my voice_client shows as not is_connected() during playing when it hits the after callback it throws an exception. How best do I handle this? What are the best methods available?

[elfin island]

!d discord.Embed.from_dict does exactly what you need btw although the json format is probably different

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.from\_dict

classmethod from_dict(data)```
Converts a [`dict`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#dict "(in Python v3.10)") to a [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") provided it is in the
format that Discord expects it to be in.

You can find out about this format in the [official Discord documentation](https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/channel#embed-object).

[ebon island]

Exception: Not connected to voice, message: Calling the after function failed.

[slate swan]

guys i need help because this code get a error saying

You don't close the parentheses for run() on line 95

[slate swan]

@slate swan how do I add reactions? 😔 im lost

[vale wing]

Oh hell keep_alive

[tight mica]

get the guild then get its member count

[slate swan]

its actually a method for hikari.PartialMessage from which the Message class is derived

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Guild.member_count

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.member\_count

property member_count```
Returns the member count if available.

Warning

Due to a Discord limitation, in order for this attribute to remain up-to-date and
accurate, it requires [`Intents.members`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Intents.members "discord.Intents.members") to be specified...

[ebon island]

Guild.member_count looks like your best option

[loud junco]

copy the code and paste here

instead of screenshooting tons of them

[slate swan]

oh thank you very much

best trio: flask keep_alive and replit

[loud junco]

learn ur basic before discord bot
if not u are going to suffer a lot

[slate swan]

okay

[loud junco]

LOL

i only use keep_alive

[slate swan]

ive never used keep alive

[loud junco]

lol

[slate swan]

i just handle the hbs myself

[loud junco]

cuz u nvr use replit ig

[slate swan]

it will make the bot run forever

[loud junco]

this dude's bio

[slate swan]

your bot can't ever run continuously on replit

[loud junco]

whats hb

[slate swan]

@slate swan and and, how do I change the permissions for a channel? 😔

[loud junco]

LOL rate limit

[slate swan]

heartbeat

it keeps restarting at some time intervals

[loud junco]

ya

[loud junco]

but its among the best for free ig

guild = get_guild(UR GUILD ID)? @slate swan

[slate swan]

GuildChannel.edit takes a permission_overwrites kwarg

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_guild

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.get\_guild

get_guild(id, /)```
Returns a guild with the given ID.

Changed in version 2.0: `id` parameter is now positional-only.

[loud junco]

alright its guild = bot.get_guild(ur guild id)

[slate swan]

bot.get_guild

its a method of the Bot class🏂

[slate swan]

uh, so how do I specify the dictionary keys for like, I wanna remove the permissions for reactions for every role

or wait, edit_overwrite exists too, ic

[slate swan]

overwrite = PermissionOverwrite(
    type=PermissionOverwriteType.MEMBER,
    allow=(
        Permissions.VIEW_CHANNEL
        | Permissions.READ_MESSAGE_HISTORY
        | Permissions.SEND_MESSAGES
    ),
    deny=(
        Permissions.MANAGE_MESSAGES
        | Permissions.SPEAK
    ),
)``` this is what i got in the docs, you may pass `Permissions.NONE` or simply `0` for the allow and deny to remove it

hm, ic, thanks

⭐overcomplicated library abstractions⭐

✨ you can simply pass the permissions integers too if you want it very basic ✨

[potent spear]

harder to debug

[slate swan]

⭐ no⭐

[slate swan]

im aware, but someone found cleaner things overcomplicated

[slate swan]

😔 it requires some id for the entity, what do I pass for this?

[slate swan]

id kwarg in the PermissionOverwrite

the id of the entity you want to edit

[slate swan]

I know-
but what do i pass in it 😔

[slate swan]

ah ic

[slate swan]

a snowflake

[slate swan]

me who still doesnt understand 😭

snowflake is just an ID..

[slate swan]

I know.....

so whats the problem😭

[slate swan]

TypeError: 'PermissionOverwrite' object is not iterable

overwrite = hikari.PermissionOverwrite(id=channel.id, type=hikari.PermissionOverwriteType.MEMBER, deny=(hikari.Permissions.ADD_REACTIONS))

I'm probably doing something dumb

show more code \🗿 and full traceback

sure

you tried to iterate through a class thats not an iterable

so it doesnt have __iter__🏂

I want to get the Member count of two server and well... I can only say it somehow went wrong?

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

get_guild returns None

most methods that are get_* can return an object or None

[slate swan]

permission_overwrites should be a "list" of PermissionOverwrite

[winged bone]

try bot.fetch_guild

[slate swan]

just add a [] and you're cool

[slate swan]

i would recommend you use getch or get the guild first

[winged bone]

oops, you have to await it because it makes an api call

[slate swan]

now this comes up
